About Bernie

Hi, I’m Bernie

I’m the founder of Breathe and Bloom and the creator of Phoenix Rising.

I work with intuitive women and holistic practitioners who are ready to move beyond over-giving and return to steady, sustainable leadership in their lives and work.

I’m a Reiki Master, intuitive healer, author and mentor – but what I’m known for most is helping sensitive women strengthen their energetic boundaries, refine their capacity, and build sustainable depth without depletion.

At the heart of it, I am still a healer.

I sit with women in the quiet moments.
I work gently with the nervous system.
I clear what feels heavy.
I help you reconnect to the part of you that has always been steady underneath the noise.

Mentorship is simply the structure that now holds that healing more sustainably.

My path into this work wasn’t straightforward.

At 52, the unexpected ending of my previous career became the catalyst for something deeper – not just healing, but refinement.

What began as intuitive healing evolved into structured energetic recalibration for women who hold space for others.

Because I’ve lived both sides.

The over-giving.
The carrying.
The quiet depletion.
And the recalibration.

Today, through Phoenix Rising, The Unrushed Woman, and my one-to-one work, I support women to build authority without hardening and depth without exhaustion.

This work is no longer about healing alone.

It’s about sustainability, authority, and energetic maturity.

If you’re ready to deepen your life or your work without losing yourself in it, you’re in the right place.
